Apply & Audition

Applying to UNCSA is a little different from applying to a traditional college or
university. Because we are an arts conservatory, we conduct in-person auditions and
interviews with all of our applicants. We believe it’s the best way to evaluate the
true artistic gifts and professional potential of young artists. The auditions and
interviews are held either here on our campus in Winston-Salem, N.C., or in major
cities across the United States.

At UNCSA, you apply for admission to a specific program in one of our five conservatories—Dance,
Design & Production, Drama, Filmmaking or Music—each of which has its own admissions
process and requirements. Visit the Admissions site for the conservatory you plan
to apply for to learn more.

Want to see where you will live, work and create as an artist at UNCSA? We offer Campus
Tours several days a week, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the spaces used
by students in each of our arts conservatories, as well as common study and dining
spaces on campus.
